Well culpable was perhaps not the most appropriate word.
He gives repentance only to some, if you cannot see the problem with that, I really do not know what to say.
I know the line of thinking He is God and He can do what He wants.
The opportunity is extended to all but only some will respond with action that is what scripture shows over and over again.

Thank you for acknowledging this.
He did not have to offer it to anyone, my Sister, yet He will have saved a # of rebellious, God-haters, that no man can #, and you take umbrage with that?
He does as He pleases. He is God and we are not. Yet, everything He does is good. Even casting God-hating ppl into hell is good. I do not understand that, meaning I do not know from my finite mind how that is good, yet all that He does is good, so then that is good, too, according to Him.
Well, the OT is chocked full of ppl God never extended grace to. He left the Egyptians, Assyrians, Philistines, Jebusites, Hivtes, Hittites, et al, w/o a sacrificial system to atone for their sins.
The Levitical scapegoat in Leviticus 16 was for all the sins and iniquities of Israel. It did not include those nations I previously mentioned sins when it carried Israel's sins into the wilderness.

Amen God does what he pleases. And does his will.
What is his will?
lets let Jesus respond to this,. So you can not say EG said it.
John 6: [FONT="]For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”[/FONT]
It is his will that everyone who sees and believes. PERIOD!! And that God will not lose anyone. And he predestined based on this FACT!

He forgot one aspect of Gods grace.
He told abraham his family would have to wait because the sin of the amorite was not yet complete. (400 years)
God showed great grace in the OT, Many Egyptians left with the children of Isreal.
God did not punish Isreal immediately when they sinned, he showed massive grace, usually generations.
oh yeah, Nineah.. Jonah,. Who went AGAINST HIS WILL. But chose to go anyway of his own free will
He is the same yesterday and today and forever.[Hebrews 13:8]
God chose Israel to be His ppl in the OT. He justly left the others in their fallen state. No other nation did He entrust with the oracles(words) of God.[Romans 3:2] In Deuteronomy we can read “The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.[vss 7,8] No other nation in the OT economy had this spoken to them.
The purpose of this nation was to bring the Messiah into the world, and He would come through the tribe of Judah. This nation was forbidden to marry anyone outside of this nation, seeing that all other nations were nothing more than idolators.
Now that the Messiah has died in the place of His elected ppl, which are now both Jews and Gentiles, God's chosen ppl will now come into the covenant promised via the gospel.
God chose Israel and left the other nations to themselves. He chose His elect and left the others to themselves. He is a particular God to a particular ppl.
But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.[1 Peter 2:9]
